Developing his blog on a local server is a very interesting method to test all kinds of changes you've never been able to test online without destabilizing or even discourage your visitors. In our situation, we will use EasyPHP although this is possible with other software such as Wamp.
Start with EasyPHP 2.0b1 download at the following address:
Do not worry this version although it is a beta version presented no failure during the tests.
Follow the installation procedure by default. EasyPHP is now launched. The principle is the same as an FTP server in line with the exception that the file storage is located on the record in software installation, (default): C: \ Program Files \ EasyPHP 2.0b1 \ www \
To proceed with the installation of WordPress, you just have to unzip the file in question in the directory listed below. Then, open a new tab is rendezvous at the following URL: http://127.0.0.1/ (or enter localhost).
Here qu'apparaît the root server. Logically, each record copied to the default should be included as is the case in the dossier WordPress:
Click on it to begin installation of the platform in question. An error message appears offering to create a file wp-config.php through our Web interface. Open the link that will allow you to configure the login information to the database.
We must therefore create a database and this always with EasyPHP. Let us panel central terminal located at the following address: http://127.0.0.1/home/
Click MYSQL Hotel, which lets you phpMyAdmin.
In the field Create a database, enter the name you want to give your database (for example, wp or wordpress). Confirm by clicking Create. Your basis is now ready to host your blog. Back then tab in the installation of WordPress.
Now Remplissons various fields:
- Name of the database: see here the name you chose earlier;
- Nickname: Root;
- Password: leave it blank (normal, you're local);
- Host: localhost;
- Prefix: wp_;
Tick to take the next step. You will have to choose the name of your blog and your e-mail address. Validate again.
Here, a new screen appears telling you your username and password. Please note them well because they will not be sent by email because you are local. Remember to change the password later in the Options menu.
Now that your blog is installed on a local server, it'll just connect you. To that end, several possibilities:
- Register localhost in the URL bar of your browser and click on the folder WordPress. Once on your blog, a link connection is available at the blog;
- Enter directly address the panel hotel in this case: http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/wp-login.php;
You then get on the screen session of WordPress. Then enter your ID (admin) and password provided during installation.
And now, it's over, your blog runs a local!
